Here are the final Biden numbers where he left off.

What will the numbers be for "mr. business/economy" president (who is weirdly spending a lot of time ranting about Greenland)?


Unemployment: 4.1%
Inflation rate: 2.9%
GDP growth (awaiting final 2024 numbers but here are quarters): Quarter 3: 3.1% growth annualized; Quarter 2 3.0% growth annualized
30yr fixed-rate mortgage: 7.04%
Consumer confidence index: 104.7
Trade deficit: $78 billion (as of Nov. 2024)
Deficit: $510 billion (under Biden)
SnP 500: 59.9% growth under Biden

 
So much freedom


President Donald Trump has said he believes the US will gain control of Greenland, after showing renewed interest in acquiring the autonomous Danish territory in recent weeks.

"I think we're going to have it," he told reporters on Air Force One on Saturday, adding that the island's 56,000 residents "want to be with us".

His comments come after reports that Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen insisted Greenland was not for sale in a fiery phone call with the president last week.

Trump first floated the prospect of buying the territory during his first term in 2019, and has said US control of Greenland is an "absolute necessity" for international security.
"I think the people want to be with us," Trump said in the press room on board the presidential plane.

"I don't really know what claim Denmark has to it, but it would be a very unfriendly act if they didn't allow that to happen because it's for the protection of the free world," he added.

"I think Greenland we'll get because it has to do with freedom of the world," Trump continued.

"It has nothing to do with the United States other than that we're the one that can provide the freedom. They can't."

One morning in June
Some twenty years ago
I was born a rich man's son
I had everything that money could buy
But freedom I had none

I've been looking for freedom
I've been looking so long
I've been looking for freedom
Still the search goes on
I've been looking for freedom
Since I left my home town
I've been looking for freedom
Still it can't be found
